This map is the smaller issue of the San Diego survey by Abert and Derby that proposed a diversion of the San Diego River to resolve the problems of flooding during the rainy season. The map shows the nascent town of San Diego centered around its plaza, with Fort Stockton and the ruins of the old Presidio nearby. The roads are noted and labeled as leading to Los Angeles, as well as one to New S. Diego. Extends to include False Bay and San Diego Bay. Inset with an overview of the San Diego region. Lithography by J. Ackerman of New York.
